Most every health care practitioner and bodyworker gets a great education that is missing some essential pieces to the human puzzle. Sexuality is an important topic that too often gets overlooked. This program is about bridging that gap.

Welcome to a groundbreaking program that merges 23 years of massage therapy expertise with 13 years of sexuality education. This course is designed for both new and experienced massage therapists, offering a unique exploration of sexuality and intimacy within the realm of bodywork.

As bodyworkers, we recognize the inherent intimacy in our practice. This program addresses the often-overlooked aspect of handling intimate exchanges, providing you with essential skills for navigating challenges related to sexuality in your professional work.
